Object detection and segmentation for inking applications

A computerized method for digital ink parsing, the computerized method comprising:

• receiving ink strokes at an inking device input;
• rendering the received ink strokes into an image;
• detecting one or more writing strokes in the image and label the writing strokes;
• removing one or more pixels corresponding to the labeled writing strokes from the image;
• detecting one or more drawing strokes in the image, after detecting the one or more writing strokes and removing the one or more pixels corresponding to the labeled writing strokes, and label the drawing strokes;
• and
• outputting one or more writing objects and one or more drawing objects corresponding, respectively, to the labeled writing strokes and the labeled drawing strokes.

One or more computer storage media having computer-executable instructions for digital ink parsing that, upon execution by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to at least:

• receive ink strokes at an inking device input;
• render the received ink strokes into an image;
• detect one or more writing strokes in the image and label the writing strokes;
• remove one or more pixels corresponding to the labeled writing strokes from the image;
• detect one or more drawing strokes in the image, after detecting the one or more writing strokes and removing the one or more pixels corresponding to the labeled writing strokes, and label the drawing strokes;
• and
• output one or more writing objects and one or more drawing objects corresponding, respectively, to the labeled writing strokes and the labeled drawing strokes.
